FAQ
Why does the result differ slightly from my payslip?
This tool uses an annual progressive-bracket approximation instead of the official Simplified Withholding Tax Table. Monthly differences are within ₩tens of thousands; the year-end tax settlement reconciles the gap, so 12-month totals match closely.
Which year are the rates from?
2026 rates — National Pension 4.5%, Health Insurance 3.545%, Long-term Care 12.95% of Health Insurance, Employment Insurance 0.9% (employee share). Employer pays a separate share.
What goes in "non-taxable monthly amount"?
Income tax–exempt items per Korean Income Tax Act: meal allowance (up to ₩200,000/mo), commuting allowance (₩200,000), childcare/birth allowance, etc. Most employees default to ₩200,000 (meal).
Difference between dependents and children?
Dependents (including yourself) drive the personal exemption (₩1,500,000/year per person). Children aged 8–20 also qualify for the additional Child Tax Credit (₩250,000/year for 1st & 2nd, ₩350,000 from 3rd).
